Mark (Interpretation Bible Studies)

By Richard L. Deibert

Book Overview

Mark challenges the reader to believe in the mystery of God--that even through difficult times, God reigns. Mark's Gospel carries the reader from the desert wilderness to Jerusalem, and from the crisis of the cross to the victory of the empty tomb. Interpretation Bible Studies (IBS) offers solid biblical content in a creative study format. Forged in the tradition of the celebrated Interpretation commentary series, IBS makes the same depth of biblical insight available in a dynamic, flexible, and user-friendly resource. Designed for adults and older youth, IBS can be used in small groups, in church school classes, in large group presentations, or in personal study.

Useful in Groups

I have used a number of the Interpretation series for study with older high schoolers and adults. As indicated in their description they contain "ten units on key passages". They are not to be mistaken for a comprehensive Bible Commentary which covers each chapter and verse - this is not their purpose. I love the fact that this material is thought provoking and is intended to provide openings for dialogue - but then I'm an Episcopalian and not keen on being force fed. I particularly like the information in the side-bars that links the scripture to cultural practices of the day, differing Greek translations of a word, further reading, etc. This series contains a down loadable teacher's guide that is also useful.
